Etiquette & Social Skill Classes for Children

Children who have good manners are more likeable, comfortable and confident. But, often, children need to hear from a third party that manners matter in order to start practicing them. Clise Etiquette teaches and reinforces the manners and social skills your children need to succeed socially and, later, professionally. Your children will learn important skills that help them to be poised, polished and polite whether they are interacting online or in-person.

Testimonials

Thank you so much for a great class. Both of my boys were so happy after the class. Full of stories and even asked if they could go to the second one!

Ann Allen

I wanted to write this email to let you know how much I enjoyed your online etiquette class! I've learned so much this week from your classes and I can't wait for quarantine to be over so I can show off my new manners. I wanted to say how thankful I am to you for helping me become a better person all in one week.

Camila

On behalf of Ellie and Lucy, I wish to thank you very much for the outstanding job in presenting good manners, etiquette and introductions as well as many other interesting tidbits, one of which I didn't know. The girls really enjoyed this adventure.

Marcy Rice

Thank you so much for a wonderful class. Rosalie enjoyed it thoroughly, and has taught us many finer points of dining and social etiquette, which pleases me so much. I think she has shared some good habits with us that her dad did not even know! It's the ripple effect of your work.

Anne Livingston

I signed my son up for the Children's Etiquette Class so he could have an experience focused on table manners outside of our home. Given the class was not a soccer camp he was not inclined to participate. However, he found the class very enjoyable, and I was delighted to hear of all the other areas covered, such as thank you cards and manners at social settings. At the end of his two-day session, he came home and wrote a Thank You to his cousin AND said he wants to go back next year!

Christi DeCuir

Celia really, REALLY enjoyed yesterday’s session. She came down to my office to introduce herself as part of her homework. She was beaming with confidence. In fact, she was so inspired by the class she's now reading a book called “The New Etiquette” that my mom gave me; published in 1940. Thank you for the impact you’ve had on our little lady.

Colin Chapman

I wanted to tell you that you're etiquette classes are great! I have been able to learn so much from your classes. Thank you for all your help.

Riya

We had Arden teach an etiquette course to two young kids (ages 8 and 10) and even now they are using her examples when eating or introducing themselves. She was personable, professional, and made the lesson interactive and interesting, especially for the age group. We really enjoyed working with her and send our highest recommendations to those who are wanting to pick up a lesson for themselves or a group.

Ilona Lebed

Executive personal assistant

Leo really enjoyed your class, and we enjoyed getting to hear about all the things he learned! We are looking forward to future "lessons" from him. It was a wonderful experience.
